DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] It should be noted that the plate members in this embodiment include but are not limited to paper cards in a folded state or plates with other various functions, which are not limited here and can be set according to actual needs. Optionally, the plate members are specifically rectangular plates, trapezoidal plates, pentagonal plates or plates of other shapes. When the shapes of the plates are different, the various functional components of the material storage and retrieval device will be adaptively adjusted to facilitate the storage and retrieval of the plates. Among them, rectangular plates are more commonly used in actual applications. In this embodiment, the corresponding material storage and retrieval device will be specifically introduced by taking the plate members as rectangular plates as an example. However, it should be understood that the plate members are also allowed to be various other shapes, which are not specifically limited here.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two structural diagrams of a material storing and retrieving device from different perspectives in an embodiment of the present application are respectively shown. An embodiment of the present application provides a material storing and retrieving device, which includes: a conveying mechanism 10, an opening and closing mechanism 20 and a retrieving mechanism 30.

[0031] The conveying mechanism 10 includes a conveying belt 11, on which a plurality of plate members 40 stacked in sequence along a conveying direction are stored. When the conveying mechanism 10 is working, the conveying belt 11 can drive the plurality of plate members 40 to move forward along the conveying direction.

[0032] Optionally, the material storing and retrieving device further includes a workbench 93 , and the conveying mechanism 10 is placed on the workbench 93 .

[0033] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 10 further includes a mounting frame, a motor, a driving wheel and a driven wheel. The motor is mounted on the mounting frame. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are rotatably arranged on the mounting frame. The motor is connected to the driving wheel, and the motor is used to drive the driving wheel to rotate. The driving wheel is connected to the driven wheel through the conveyor belt 11. When the motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, the driving wheel drives the conveyor belt 11 to move, thereby realizing the forward conveyance of multiple plates 40 on the conveyor belt 11.

[0034] Specifically, the opening and closing mechanism 20 is connected to the front end of the mounting frame.

[0035] The opening and closing mechanism 20 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The opening and closing mechanism 20 is provided with an open position and a closed position, and can be switched between the open position and the closed position. When the opening and closing mechanism 20 is switched to the closed position, the opening and closing mechanism 20 abuts against and positions the frontmost plate 40 on the conveying belt 11; when the opening and closing mechanism 20 is switched to the open position, the opening and closing mechanism 20 releases the frontmost plate 40 on the conveying belt 11.

[0036] The material taking mechanism 30 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10 , and is used to take out the frontmost plate 40 on the conveying belt 11 when the opening and closing mechanism 20 is in the open position.

[0037] When the above-mentioned material storage and retrieval device is in use, a plurality of plates 40 are driven by the conveyor belt 11 to be transported forward to the position to be retrieved, and are limited by the opening and closing mechanism 20 in the closed position. When it is necessary to take out the plate 40, the opening and closing mechanism 20 switches from the closed position to the open position to release the frontmost plate 40 on the conveyor belt 11, and the retrieval mechanism 30 can take out the frontmost plate 40 on the conveyor belt 11; at the same time, the conveying mechanism 10 drives the plate 40 to move forward, so that the next plate 40 moves to the position to be retrieved, so as to be taken away by the retrieval mechanism 30; when the retrieval is completed, the opening and closing mechanism 20 switches from the open position to the closed position, which can prevent the material on the conveyor belt 11 from being taken out, and plays a role in storing materials. It can be seen that the automation degree of material retrieval can be improved, the work efficiency is high, and the labor cost is reduced.

[0038] Among them, when the opening and closing mechanism 20 is in the closed position, it can be in contact with any side (for example, the left side, the right side, the upper side or the lower side) of the outer peripheral edge of the plate 40, or with any two sides of the outer peripheral edge of the plate 40, or with the entire outer peripheral edge of the plate 40, or with the middle part of the plate 40, as long as it plays a limiting role for the plate 40, no specific limitation is made here.

[0039] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some specific embodiments, the opening and closing mechanism 20 includes two first opening and closing components 21 and a second opening and closing component 22. The two first opening and closing components 21 and the second opening and closing components 22 are both connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, specifically connected to the front end of the mounting frame. When the two first opening and closing components 21 are in the closed position, the two first opening and closing components 21 are abutted and positioned with the left and right opposite sides of the frontmost plate 40 on the conveyor belt 11. When the second opening and closing component 22 is in the closed position, the second opening and closing component 22 is abutted and positioned with the bottom of the frontmost plate 40 on the conveyor belt 11. In this way, when the opening and closing mechanism 20 is in the closed position, the bottom and the left and right opposite sides of the frontmost plate 40 are abutted and positioned respectively, thereby effectively preventing the plate 40 from being taken out, and at the same time improving the neatness of the multiple plates 40 on the conveyor belt 11, so as to prepare for the smooth performance of the next material taking action.

[0040] It should be noted that the opening and closing methods of the first opening and closing component 21 and the second opening and closing component 22 are independently set and adjusted according to actual needs. They can be set to a rotating mode to achieve switching between the open position and the closed position, or they can be set to a moving mode to achieve switching between the open position and the closed position, or they can adopt other action modes to achieve switching between the open position and the closed position, which is not specifically limited here.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first opening and closing component 21 includes a first push-pull mechanism 211, a first rotating seat 212 and a first stopper 213. The first push-pull mechanism 211 is installed on the conveying mechanism 10, and the first rotating seat 212 is rotatably arranged on the conveying mechanism 10. The first stopper 213 is connected to the first rotating seat 212, and the number of the first stopper 213 is, for example, one or more. The first push-pull mechanism 211 is connected to the first rotating seat 212, and when the first push-pull mechanism 211 pushes and pulls the first rotating seat 212, it can drive the first rotating seat 212 to rotate, and when the first rotating seat 212 rotates, it correspondingly drives the first stopper 213 to rotate to an open position or a closed position. The first push-pull mechanism 211 includes, but is not limited to, various forms of power mechanisms such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a motor screw.

[0042] Similarly, in the present embodiment, the second opening and closing assembly 22 includes a second push-pull mechanism 221, a second rotating seat 222 and a second stopper 223. The second push-pull mechanism 221 is mounted on the conveying mechanism 10, and the second rotating seat 222 is rotatably disposed on the conveying mechanism 10. The second stopper 223 is connected to the second rotating seat 222, and the number of the second stopper 223 is, for example, one or more. The second push-pull mechanism 221 is connected to the second rotating seat 222, and when the second push-pull mechanism 221 pushes and pulls the second rotating seat 222, it can drive the second rotating seat 222 to rotate, and when the second rotating seat 222 rotates, it correspondingly drives the second stopper 223 to rotate to an open position or a closed position. The second push-pull mechanism 221 includes, but is not limited to, various forms of power mechanisms such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a motor screw.

[0043] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the material storage and material taking device further includes a first stopper 50, which is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The first stopper 50 is used to abut against the upper edge of the frontmost plate 40. In this way, after the opening and closing mechanism 20 is switched from the closed position to the open position, before the material taking mechanism 30 takes out the frontmost plate 40 on the conveyor belt 11, the first stopper 50 abuts against the upper edge of the frontmost plate 40, which plays a certain limiting role, and can prevent the frontmost plate 40 from tilting forward under the action of gravity, for example, so that it cannot be taken out smoothly by the material taking mechanism 30; in addition, since the first stopper 50 only abuts against the upper edge of the frontmost plate 40, and the plate 40 has a certain elastic deformation ability, after the material taking mechanism 30 grabs the frontmost plate 40, it can still smoothly take out the frontmost plate 40. In addition, since the first limiting member 50 abuts and limits the upper edge of the frontmost plate 40 , the opening and closing mechanism 20 does not need to abut and position the upper edge of the plate 40 , so that the opening and closing mechanism 20 is simplified.

[0044] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first limiting member 50 includes a limiting plate. The number of limiting plates can be one or more, for example, 2, 3, 4 or more. In this embodiment, the limiting plates are provided in a plurality and are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the plate 40 (i.e., the left-right direction of the conveyor belt 11). In this way, the upper edge of the plate 40 is effectively limited by the first limiting member 50, and at the same time, under the action of the material taking mechanism 30, it can also be taken out smoothly.

[0045] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first stopper 50 is arranged on the conveying mechanism 10 in an adjustable position along the width direction of the plate 40. In this way, the position of the first stopper 50 can be moved and adjusted along the width direction of the plate 40 according to the requirements of the specific type of the plate 40, so as to play a better limiting role for different types of plates 40.

[0046] In some embodiments, the material storage and retrieval device further includes a pressing member 60. The pressing member 60 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and the pressing member 60 is pressed against the top ends of the multiple plates 40 in the front area of ​​the conveyor belt 11. In this way, when the conveyor belt 11 drives the plates 40 to move forward through the pressing member 60, the pressing member 60 presses the top ends of the plates 40, which can, on the one hand, make the plates 40 in the front area neatly arranged so as to be smoothly retrieved by the retrieval mechanism 30; on the other hand, it can position the plates 40 in the front area, effectively preventing at least two plates 40 from being retrieved synchronously during the retrieval process, that is, it can facilitate the retrieval of the plates 40 one by one.

[0047] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the pressing member 60 can be set to one or at least two and arranged in sequence along the width direction of the plate 40. When the number of the pressing members 60 is set to at least two, each part of the plate 40 along its width direction can be pressed and positioned, and the uniformity is better.

[0048] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the pressing member 60 is arranged on the conveying mechanism 10 in an adjustable position along the width direction of the plate 40. In this way, the position of the pressing member 60 can be moved and adjusted along the width direction of the plate 40 according to the requirements of the specific type of the plate 40, so as to play a better pressing and positioning role on the plate 40.

[0049] In one embodiment, the pressing member 60 includes a pressing portion 61 and a guiding portion 62. The pressing portion 61 is pressed against the top ends of the plurality of plates 40 in the front region, and the guiding portion 62 is connected to the rear side of the pressing portion 61. The distance between the guiding portion 62 and the conveyor belt 11 decreases along the conveying direction.

[0050] Specifically, the pressing surface of the pressing portion 61 is, for example, a plane and is parallel to the conveyor belt 11. The spacing between the pressing portion 61 and the conveyor belt 11 is smaller than the height of the plate 40, and the ratio of the two is, for example, between 0.9 and 1. In this way, the pressing portion 61 can achieve synchronous pressing of multiple plates 40 in the front area. In addition, the guide portion 62 is provided with a guide slope, which is arranged at an angle to the pressing surface. The guide slope plays a guiding role, which can facilitate each plate 40 to smoothly enter the area between the pressing portion 61 and the conveyor belt 11 along the conveying direction.

[0051] Optionally, the guide portion 62 is a flange formed on the rear side of the pressing portion 61 .

[0052] It should be noted that the "guide portion 62" in this embodiment can be "a part of the pressing portion 61", that is, the "guide portion 62" and the "other parts of the pressing portion 61" are manufactured as one piece; it can also be an independent component separable from the "other parts of the pressing portion 61", that is, the "guide portion 62" can be manufactured independently and then combined with the "other parts of the pressing portion 61" into a whole.

[0053] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the material storage and retrieval device further includes a first support frame 71 and a first adjustment assembly 72. The first support frame 71 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and the first support frame 71 includes a first crossbeam 711, and the first crossbeam 711 is located above the conveying belt 11, and the first adjustment assembly 72 is installed on the first crossbeam 711. The pressing member 60 and the first position-limiting member 50 are both connected to the first adjustment assembly 72, and the pressing member 60 and the first position-limiting member 50 are both indirectly disposed at the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The first adjustment assembly 72 can adjust the positions of the pressing member 60 and the first position-limiting member 50 in the vertical direction. In this way, the height positions of the pressing member 60 and the first limiting member 50 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by the first adjusting component 72 according to the height of the plate 40, so that the height positions of the pressing member 60 and the first limiting member 50 can match the height of the plate 40, thereby achieving better pressing and limiting of the plate 40, thereby being able to adapt to pressing and limiting various types of plates 40 of different heights.

[0054] Based on the above embodiment, the first support frame 71 further includes two support plates 712 arranged relatively spaced apart. The bottom ends of the two support plates 712 are connected to the mounting frame, and the opposite ends of the first crossbeam 711 are connected to the top ends of the two support plates 712 respectively.

[0055] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first adjustment component 72 includes a connecting portion 721, a seat body 722 and a first adjustment member (not shown in the figure). The connecting portion 721 is connected to the first crossbeam 711, and the connecting portion 721 is, for example, in the shape of a rod. The first limit member 50 and the pressing member 60 are both mounted on the seat body 722. The seat body 722 is arranged on the connecting portion 721 in an adjustable position along the vertical direction. When the seat body 722 is adjusted to the target position along the vertical direction, the first adjustment member is used to fix the seat body 722 on the connecting portion 721. Optionally, the first adjustment member includes but is not limited to a locking screw or a locking screw, etc.

[0056] In some embodiments, the seat body 722 includes a second cross beam 7221 and a first vertical rod 7222 connected to the second cross beam 7221. The first vertical rod 7222 penetrates the connecting portion 721 and is adjustably disposed on the connecting portion 721 along the vertical direction. In addition, the pressing member 60 and the first stopper 50 are both adjustably disposed on the second cross beam 7221 along the width direction of the plate 40. In this way, not only can the height positions of the pressing member 60 and the first stopper 50 be adjusted, but also the pressing member 60 and the first stopper 50 can be adjustably disposed on the conveying mechanism 10 along the width direction of the plate 40.

[0057] Among them, when the plate 40 is specifically a paper card, for example, the thickness of the middle part of the paper card is greater than the thickness of the top and bottom parts. In the process of being conveyed forward along the conveyor belt 11 to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, the middle part of the paper card bends toward the rear side relative to the bottom part of the paper card, which is not only easy to cause damage to the paper card, but also easy to make it difficult for the paper card to be taken out by the material taking mechanism 30.

[0058] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the material storage and retrieval device further includes two toggle assemblies 81. The two toggle assemblies 81 are connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10 and are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 11. The toggle assemblies 81 abut against the middle part of the side of the plate 40 along its width direction, and can toggle the plate 40 to move forward. In this way, when the conveyor belt 11 drives the plate 40 forward, the two toggle assemblies 81 act synchronously. Under the push action of the two toggle assemblies 81 on the middle parts of the two side edges of the plate 40 along its width direction respectively, the middle parts of the sides of the plate 40 on both sides can be moved forward, thereby effectively preventing the plate 40 from being warped and damaged due to uneven force, and facilitating the smooth removal of the plate 40.

[0059] In one embodiment, the toggle assembly 81 includes a telescopic mechanism 811, a first mounting seat 812, and a roller 813 rotatably disposed on the first mounting seat 812. The telescopic mechanism 811 is connected to the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and the telescopic mechanism 811 is connected to the first mounting seat 812, and the telescopic mechanism 811 can drive the first mounting seat 812 to reciprocate back and forth. The wheel surface of the roller 813 is in contact with the middle part of the side. Optionally, the telescopic direction of the telescopic mechanism 811 is set at an angle with the conveying direction of the plate 40, and the angle includes but is not limited to 10° to 30°. In this way, when the telescopic mechanism 811 drives the first mounting seat 812 to reciprocate back and forth, the first mounting seat 812 correspondingly drives the roller 813 to reciprocate back and forth, and when the wheel surface of the roller 813 contacts the middle part of the side, it can drive the middle part of the side of the plate 40 to move forward.

[0060] Optionally, the telescopic mechanism 811 includes but is not limited to a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor screw or other various types of power mechanisms, which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0061] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the material storage and retrieval device further includes two second support frames 82 and two second adjustment components 83. The two second adjustment components 83 are both mounted at the front end of the conveying mechanism 10 and are respectively located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 11. The two second adjustment components 83 are respectively connected to the two second support frames 82, and the second adjustment components 83 can adjust the positions of the corresponding second support frames 82 along the width direction of the plate 40. The two toggle components 81 are respectively mounted on the two second support frames 82. In this way, when the second adjustment component 83 adjusts the position of the second support frame 82 in the transverse direction, it can correspondingly drive the toggle component 81 to adjust the position in the transverse direction, so that the wheel surface of the roller 813 can abut against the middle part of the side of the plate 40, which can adapt to the material storage and retrieval work of the plate 40 with different widths.

[0062] In one embodiment, the toggle assembly 81 further includes a second mounting seat 814. The second mounting seat 814 is mounted at the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. The telescopic mechanism 811 is rotatably disposed on the second mounting seat 814. When the telescopic mechanism 811 is rotated to adjust the position, the distance between the wheel surface of the roller 813 and the side portion of the plate 40 can be adjusted. In this way, the distance between the wheel surface of the roller 813 and the side portion of the plate 40 can be adjusted by rotating the position of the telescopic mechanism 811, so that the distance between the wheel surface of the roller 813 and the side portion of the plate 40 is appropriate, so that the force applied by the wheel surface on the side portion of the plate 40 can be adjusted.

[0063] As an example, the second mounting seat 814 is provided with an arc hole 8141, and the telescopic mechanism 811 is provided with a guide portion 62, which is inserted into the arc hole 8141 and can move along the arc hole 8141. In this way, during the rotation of the telescopic mechanism 811, the guide portion 62 plays a guiding role, and the rotation stability is higher.

[0064] Specifically, the second mounting seat 814 is mounted on the second support frame 82. In this way, when applied to panels 40 of different widths, the position of the second mounting seat 814 can be preliminarily adjusted by the second adjustment assembly 83, and then the rotation angle of the telescopic mechanism 811 can be adjusted to fine-tune the wheel surface position of the roller 813.

[0065] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the second support frame 82 is provided with an escape window 821 , and the roller 813 can pass through the escape window 821 and abut against the side edge of the plate 40 .

[0066] Specifically, the two first opening and closing components 21 are respectively fixedly mounted on the two second support frames 82. Thus, when the second support frames 82 are adjusted along the width direction of the plate 40, the second support frames 82 can synchronously drive the first opening and closing components 21 thereon to adjust their positions along the width direction of the plate 40.

[0067] See also Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second adjustment component 83 includes a second adjustment member 831 and a guide rod 832. The second adjustment member 831 is rotatably connected to the second support frame 82, and the second adjustment member 831 is also adjustable on the front end of the conveying mechanism 10. Specifically, the second adjustment member 831 is, for example, a screw rod, and a screw hole adapted to the screw rod is provided on the support plate 712, and the second adjustment member 831 is inserted into the screw hole. The guide rod 832 is connected to the second support frame 82, and a guide hole is provided on the support plate 712, and the guide rod 832 is slidably inserted into the guide hole. In this way, when the second adjustment member 831 rotates, it can drive the second support frame 82 to move and adjust the position along the width direction of the plate 40.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the material taking mechanism 30 includes a moving mechanism 31 and an adsorption mechanism 32. The moving mechanism 31 is installed at the front end of the conveying mechanism 10, and the moving mechanism 31 is connected to the adsorption mechanism 32. The moving mechanism 31 can drive the adsorption mechanism 32 to move along the conveying direction, and the adsorption mechanism 32 is used to adsorb the frontmost plate 40.

[0069] In one embodiment, the adsorption mechanism 32 includes a plurality of suction cups 321, which are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the width direction of the plate 40. When the adsorption mechanism 32 is working, the plurality of suction cups 321 can stably adsorb and position the side of the plate 40, and under the moving action of the moving mechanism 31, the adsorption mechanism 32 can be driven to move closer to the frontmost plate 40, so that the suction cups 321 are adsorbed on the frontmost plate 40, and the adsorption mechanism 32 can be driven away from the conveying mechanism 10, so that the frontmost plate 40 can be taken out.

[0070] Optionally, the moving mechanism 31 includes but is not limited to various power mechanisms such as a cylinder, a motor screw or a hydraulic cylinder, and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, as long as it can drive the adsorption mechanism 32 to move closer to or away from the frontmost plate 40.

[0071] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the material storage and retrieval device further includes two second stoppers 91 installed on the conveying mechanism 10. The two second stoppers 91 are respectively located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 11, and the two second stoppers 91 are respectively abutted against opposite sides of the plate 40 along its width direction. In this way, the two second stoppers 91 respectively limit the opposite sides of the plate 40 to prevent each plate 40 from tilting left and right, which is suitable for conveying plates 40 of different widths forward, and can ensure that the plates 40 are neatly conveyed forward.

[0072] Optionally, the second limiting member 91 includes but is not limited to a limiting rod, a limiting beam or a limiting plate, etc.

[0073] Based on the above embodiment, the spacing between the two second stoppers 91 is adjustable, which is suitable for conveying panels 40 of different widths. In addition, the height of the second stopper 91 relative to the conveyor belt 11 is adjustable, which is suitable for conveying panels 40 of different heights.

[0074] In one embodiment, the material storage and material extraction device further includes a third stopper 92. The third stopper 92 is disposed at the rear end of the conveyor belt 11, and is used to abut and cooperate with the rearmost plate 40 on the conveyor belt 11. Specifically, the third stopper 92 includes but is not limited to a weight block. In this way, the plate 40 can be prevented from tilting to the rear side, thereby ensuring that the plate 40 is neatly conveyed forward.
